Wesley's DECA ELS in Phoenix...Day 1 Experience

DECA is all about preparing emerging leaders for future careers and today, at the opening session for DECA ELS, we learned that over 10,000 leaders retire each day. Leaders are in high demand and for students, this creates an amazing opportunity. DECA starts preparing high school students for current and future leadership positions while they are still in school. Unlike many conventional leaders who experience training only after an average age of 44, DECA can start as early as 14, a difference of thirty years. For students, this emphasizes the importance to take full advantage of the opportunities that you are presented with in high school as they may just make the difference in your future careers. My take-away from today is that students can have the opportunity to expand their future now in a way that can help them prepare for jobs in a secure, stable, and promising field. Therefore, students should strive to take full advantage of all of these incredible opportunities each and every day while proclaiming to the world that they will be the next amazing leader.
